Parallels Desktop Service Improper Initialization Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Parallels Desktop. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target host system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the Parallels Service. The issue results from the lack of proper initialization of environment variables. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-17751.
Vulnerabilidad de escalada de privilegios locales de inicialización incorrecta del servicio Parallels Desktop. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes locales escalar privilegios en las instalaciones afectadas de Parallels Desktop. Un atacante primero debe obtener la capacidad de ejecutar código con pocos privilegios en el sistema host de destino para poder aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad. La falla específica existe dentro del Servicio Parallels. El problema se debe a la falta de una inicialización adecuada de las variables de entorno. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para escalar privilegios y ejecutar código arbitrario en el contexto de la raíz. Era ZDI-CAN-17751.
